How can you find out if a boat hull is strong enough for a roller trailer?

In: Sailing, Powerboats

[Edit]

Answer

I am assuming this is a sail boat, ski boat (jet boat). If the boat is made by a manufacturer the the hull will be strong enough. If the boat was made privately, the hull would be laid with plywood, then fiberglassed as a sealant strengthener.

If you have an outboard motor on the transom, this must be well supported by "bungs" (which are the two pads at the back of the trailer.

Most of the weight should be on the center-line (keel of the boat) and the rest should also be supported by the rollers.
